FTN posters are entitled to express their opinion of the SNP/Carmichael story.
A lot of us *sighed* over what the Greens/SNP/Plaid blatantly lied about during the election campaign. No recourse to justice over that though is there ?
Sturgeon has backed tracked over the Labour £30bn austerity cuts crap.
No apology forthcoming yet though, or from the SNP's little wannabe sister parties.

Thanks for pointing to that blog Yahyah, which I hadn't seen before.
I'm sad to have been absent from posting for so long but I couldn't trust myself. I would probably have been thrown out, probably by the very missed Ernst, who just so happened to decide people who were, in my opinion, disruptors were welcome to put their views and long term posters could argue (eversoeffingconstantlywithnoeffingendtoit), put up or shut up. Well I shut up but I've been spitting feathers for a long time.
Well, I'm now reading the Guardian, the Telegraph and the Daily Mirror again so hope to contribute with some links now I'm signing in.
I haven't seen Cameron, Clegg or Sturgeon once or heard their voices because I'm only watching recordings of American shows - NCIS, CSI, CSI Miami and playing my DVD's.
So FTN has been my window on the world. Oh, I did go to Barcelona for 5 days after the election so there was no-one amongst my friends who could possibly be offended by me and my filthy moods! They're all bloody Tories and blind - completely blind to what's been going on.
Harry, the elderly Tory who sat all day next to me whilst I was telling for Lisa Forbes, Labour in Ravensthorpe, Peterborough (an area of the City I had never set foot in before) told me that Labour wouldn't win the election. I certainly didn't think Labour would get in at Ravensthorpe. When Harry's Asian Agent arrived, he told me Labour had no chance there either as Peterborough's Asians fully back the Tory Party. The Tories weren't doing any telling there. Anyway, in the end, a bigot called Jackson got another chance to ignore a lot of people's problems. Thankfully though, he's not my MP where I live now.
I'm in a predicament at the moment because before the election I booked a B&B just outside Pitlochry so I could attend our Singapore Schools Mid-summer Reunion which is lasting for 4 days. I was then going home to Inverness to secret my Mam and Dad's plaque on Grannie's grave at Tomnahurich (without seeking permission first!) and then calling in on my Cousin at Roslin for a few days on the way back. Now, I don't think I can do it. I really don't. There's a strong possibility, with my sheer rage, that I'd have a fight with someone with being in Scotland for so long.
@citizenJA I think you're the first person I've heard say "
I think Carmichael's action was meant to slander Labour & promote Tory's fear & denigration campaign. It was a spiteful piece of work with Carmichael identified alone". Bearing in mind that Clegg was also stirring the S******gNPs issue to damage Labour, I had
always assumed that the leak came out to damage Labour, not damage that Murdoch Tart.
@RebeccaRiots I was on a train from Inverness to Edinburgh, sitting right next to Charles Kennedy, 4-5 years' ago after I'd been to a funeral. You were right. A lovely man to listen to and talk to. I've also been on a sleeper from London to Glasgow with Iain Macleod - who was a laugh. That was many, many years' ago, when I was completely unimpressionable!
P.P.S. I'm not as nice as some of you here, so I won't be doing any apologising for my thoughts or comments against Tories, Scottish Nationalists, LibDems, Greens and last, but not least, against Nu Labour. I resigned from the Labour Party last week (for a few weeks, just so that someone at HQ would read what I said when I filled the web form in)! I'll be back - there is no other choice for a socialist in my opinion.
